Hi there. I am one of those fans who immitates MJ's dancing. I never really took the time to teach myself. One day when I was a little kid I just realized I could do it really good so I kept doing it. Any dance moves I didn't know how to do I didn't bother teaching myself. I would just freestyle all the time listening to his music and every now and then unexpectedly I would do a move I never knew how to do, and from that point on I would know how to do that then said move.
Rescently it's been bothering me because as good as I am I should have taken the time to perfect it and make it even better. I won the talent show at my school two years ago and this year I plan to do Thriller so I've been teaching myself the routine which I'm learning very quickly with ease. the fact that I'm learning it so easy only fuels my regret over not working to be as good at this as I could be.
Anyways I need some advice from those of you here who can dance like MJ. The spin where he lands on his knees. I can do it but it hurts. Whenever I do it afterwords my legs feel too tired and sore to keep dancing with the same energy and precision. It takes a lot out of me for the next few minutes.
Is there a technique any of you know to this that you can explain to me? In the grammy man in the mirror performance he does this so many times and still maintains his energy and ability to dance as if it didn't phase him at all.
Also in Jam the little number he does here at 4:09 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_FBa8B69Uc
can anybody mention some performances with different camera angles that could make it easier for me to teach myself that?
And last but not least. is there some kind of technique to spinning 4 times? I can only do two without messing up.
I appreciate your thoughts, advice, and help. This year when I do my performance it's starting out as a solo act before my back up dancers join me on stage for Thriller and I really want to do this justice. Despite the fact that everybody says I was awesome two years ago I cringe when I think about it. It could have been so much better if I hadn't procrastinated on preparing for it untill three days before the show
